There was a story on the news today about an elderly woman who was abused while staying in a nursing home. The nurses allowed another patient to rape her saying the woman had consented because she didn't say no - never mind the fact that the woman had Alzheimer's and doesn't have the capabilities to either say no or consent. They showed her and she could barely hold her head up - they had to use some metal thing to do it for her. Her legs were all bruised and she was beaten all over. It was horrible. I had to change the channel because it upset me. I got all of the above just from the milliseconds I watched. People are sick.
sad story...
